May you find peace on your forever trail in the mountains Chad.

Chad Denning was an incredible inspiration for the Northern New England Endurance Racing Community. He is pictured here introducing one of his incredible Winter Wild Mountain Running races at the crack of dawn.

The endurance sports community lost a truly inspirational, kind person yesterday. Chad touched the hearts of everyone who knew him. Chad Denning was a Dad, a husband, a friend, a race director, a teammate to many of my friends. His life ended suddenly while out for a run in the mountains of New Hampshire. Chad Denning shared his passion with everyone that he met and left and indelible mark on everyone with whom his path crossed. The news of his passing has been extremely heartbreaking for everyone who knew him. His amazing enthusiasm for everything he did will always be remembered. My prayers are with Chad Denning’s family and friends in this incredibly sad and tragic time. May Chad’s strength and spirit continue to inspire and may his family and friends find peace.

I will be forever inspired for what you gave to the running community Chad. May you find peace on your forever trail in the mountains.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” ― John Muir, The Mountains of California

The community you leave behind will carry your legacy always remembering your passion.
